With “The Batman” opening in theaters nationwide, many comic book movie fans want to know whether Matt Reeves’ film noir-inspired vision has what it takes to match or surpass Chri…

interview with Clarke started recirculating this week ahead of “The Batman” release because of Clarke’s comment.

“I’ve said this to Chris Nolan directly: ‘Look, we’re trying to be the best Batman ever made, and we’re going to try to beat you’,” Clark told the publication. “Matt [Reeves] is interested in pushing this character to his emotional depths and shaking him to his core.”film critic Peter Debruge, “The Batman” registers “among the best of the superhero genre” just like “The Dark Knight.

“This is first and foremost a detective story, unsentimental as they come — one half-expects Gwyneth Paltrow’s head to show up in a box at some point,” Debruge continues, comparing “The Batman” to David Fincher’s bleak serial killer drama “Seven.” “A movie like this will inspire countless debates: Does ‘The Batman’ really need to be this dark? Can it hold a candle to Nolan’s trilogy? There’s room enough for both to exist, and space for sequels to build on this foundation.

Even if “The Batman” matches the highs of “The Dark Knight,” Reeves’ film is going to have to turn out all the tricks at the box office if it wants to beat Nolan’s tentpole. “The Dark Knight” grossed $533 million in the U.S. and $1 billion worldwide, unadjusted for inflation. “The Batman” is tracking for an opening weekend in the $100-$125 million range, although some pundits believe it could go as high as $140 million.

Not gonna lie Pattinsons Batman felt like Bales Batman. But with more comic book elements. The Batman is still underneath TDK trilogy.

HA! yeah okay

Wow, they didnt pretend that they want to play fair. Good Warner, another hit.

Well. They won’t. lol

Everyone at WB fails the 'promote their film without taking a dig at Nolan or Snyder' challenge

I wonder if he would say that to Zack lol

Like Christopher Nolan is going to lose any sleep over this.

You're talking about one of the best movies of all time, ranked 3 in IMDB and the first comics movie to receive an Oscar (for Heath Ledger's performance as Joker). Even Nolan wasn't able to compete himself with 'The Dark Knight Rises'

Ben Affleck already beat TDK. They literally went to make an inferior movie to BvS🤣🤣🥱🥱

They succeeded

😂😂😂

Meanwhile… HE exists.

Ya lo hicieron hace mucho

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Ben Affleck smashed it out the park. MakeTheBatfleckMovie RestoretheSnyderVerse

“Ben Affleck blew it” ? Are you F****** SERIOUS ?

Well they didn't soooo

This makes absolutely zero sense. Who would go in and purposely make an inferior film to what’s been done before?!

Well they did just that

Christopher Nolan:

🗑 opinion

Relax nerds he wasn’t being as serious as you think he is lol. It was a tongue in cheek playful comment. They respect all the past iterations and want you to embrace the new ones just as much. Learn from the past. Don’t be bitchy, be grateful and enjoy this greatness! TheBatman

Media everytime mentioning WB disaffections. Wonder why it'$ happening 🤔

Not watching that crap movie, SparkleBat

The best Batman movie never made, yet. MakeTheBatfleckMovie

Why does it have to be a competition? I’m just so glad that The Batman, The Dark Knight, and Joker exist 😍

floydiancosmos no responde exactamente tu pregunta, pero está interesante la idea de mejorar al Batman de Nolan

And they did just that. W

In his dreams.

It was probably friendly banter

Why the Next Batman Movie Should Be ‘Batman Beyond’It’s the Batman movie we need (but not the one we deserve). This should be a no-brainer. There are a lot of good live action ones, but it's essentially the same again and again. How about something different, with a scifi setting befitting the Bat-mythos? Wouldnt even be a financial risk, with 'Bat' in the title guaranteed to make money Next movie is the sequel to the batman
